How to Cleanse a Crystal

Instructions

• 1

  Place the crystal in a bowl of salt water for 24 hours. Add just enough salt so there's not a pile of it on the bottom of the bowl.

• 2

  Dump the salt water and place the crystal back into the bowl. Place the bowl in a spot in your house where it can sit in the sunlight. Let it sit there for another 24 hours (this re-charges the crystal).

• 3

  After re-charging it, place the crystal in your hands and let your energy flow into it. You can do this by cupping the crystal in both of your hands, closing your eyes and 'imagining' your energy flowing from your hands to the crystal.
